According to the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for securing the virtualization layer and patching the operating system on Amazon RDS instances. Securing the virtualization layer refers to managing the underlying infrastructure that hosts the virtual machines. For Amazon RDS, AWS handles the patching and updates as part of their managed service offerings, ensuring the underlying operating system is up-to-date and secure.

Directly from the link by petercorn: The customer assumes responsibility and management of the guest operating system (including updates and security patches), other associated application software as well as the configuration of the AWS provided security group firewall.
